March 22, 2017 – The largest infrastructure project in the Bi-State Region’s history will begin this year due to the persistence and leadership of all those involved. The Bi-State Regional Commission adopted the Interstate 74 Bridge corridor project as the number one transportation priority in the Bi-State Region in 1998. Since that time, four long-range transportation plans have been developed by the Bi-State Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the project has continued to be the top priority. There have been over 14 changes in engineering and planning leadership between the Illinois and Iowa Departments of Transportation and over 20 chief elected official changes on the Transportation Policy Committee since 1998. With all of these changes, the Bi-State Regional Commission has continued to communicate a unified message of support for the project.

The I-74 Mississippi River Bridge Corridor project has received significant federal funding due to the support of our federal delegation throughout the past 20 years. Over $88 million in federal discretionary dollars have been received through the teamwork of federal staff and Bi-State coordinating the paper work and funding requests. One of the largest sums of federal discretionary dollars was $67.4 million in the 2005 transportation act, SAFETEA-LU. In fact, Bi-State was one of the few organizations invited to testify in one of three hearings held prior to the signing of SAFETEA-LU.

Bi-State policy members and staff also have worked with the Iowa and Illinois DOTs to insure the project was included in their Transportation Improvement Programs. Local governments and Bi-State staff participated in an advisory committee since the inception of the project and assisted in coordination of public information opportunities.

The I-74 Bridge Corridor project schedule began in 1995 with a Major Investment Study and continues as follows:

The project has been value engineered to reduce costs with a construction period reduction from 8 to 3.5 years. The bridge will have increased protection for seismic occurrences and barge collisions and is being built to last 100 years. The 7.8 Mile Corridor will cost $1.17 Billion in Year of Expenditure, which includes $152 million already spent on engineering, ROW acquisition, demolition, and portions of the project corridor previously completed. The remaining costs for the Central Bridge Section from Avenue of the Cities to Middle Road is $863 million.
